1t is an encouraging sign that consld-
cradle section of the democratic party OF
Baltimore, born and educated in the faith,
has the independence to disown the cor
rupt rule of German by declaring that
there is lin to its patience, aud that
this year it will support the republican
State ticket. Heroic measures are needed
to convince the steel-plated German that
officials of the Higgins stripe must be re-
moved from the sight of honest citizens.
Mr.. Cowan, who made the announcement
to the republican convention, OF the de-
termination Of the reform democrats, is
one of the hardest headed men in Balti-
more. He is the legal counsellor of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad and for years
has been Robert CARROTS close adviser.
In his speech he declared that there was a
machine in Baltimore called the reform
league, which had landed ten of
Tertiary, and has got some more on
the way to glory. 1--WE independents.
he said, twill give you enthusiastic en-
couragement. The 6700 majority which
Cleveland received in Baltimore ought to
be swept out. know that in one of the
most democratic wards of the city 600 in
dependent democratic voters are pledged
to support the republican ticket"
German may smile and wear his bland
est feature, but he and Higgins and Nor
ris Thomas Will inwardly squrm and dc

The Rural FcrmOnter says the prohibit
tory law is not automatic. The Middle
bury Register endorses this and wants a
special set of public prosecutors to en-
force it, because both the seller and the
buyer are volators and neither will prose
cute the other, as in cases of theft, assault,
ETC. The Rutland Herald asks what is
the trouble with town grand jurors,
States attorneys and the special prosecu-
tors whom the governor appoints, as al
ready provided by law? The trouble with
these, where they do not do their'duty, COM
monty is that they are not heartily backed
up by public opinion, in the enforcement
of the law. Where the people are in earn
est the public prosecutors are very apt to
know it, and vice versa

Professor Stanley Hall of Johns Hop

Ashfield celebration last week he made
the assertion that fifty years ago the

for life's struggle better than now, boys
were made to work and thoroughly learn
some useful calling, and girls were taught
the needful household duties. He also
said that schools to-day are run on the
"free soup-house theory" and that the
work element in them has been lost.

Mineral Wealth Of siberia.

II Is one Of the finest undevelOped coun-
tries In the world, and it Is really difficult
to cxaggcrate the enormous wealth Of this
gigantic region. The soil is of almost in
exhaustiblc wealth and the crops magnifi-
cent. There is almost no limit 10 the pro-
duction of the land. The Russians them
selves have but an imperfect idea Of the
immcnsity of their natural wealth, and
other people outside Russia cannot realize
it ut all Siberia, so far from being a
region II desolation and Of death, is IA
northern Australia, with larger rivers,
more extensive forests. and mineral wealth
not inferior to that of the inland continent.
In n few years Sibaria will be bridged
from end to end with railways, and in this
matter the Russian government is show
ing large and wise policy. The mag
niicent water communications-for it is
irrigated from end TO end with some Of the
largest rivers in the world, navigable for
thousands OF miles through fertile and
richly wooded lands destined TO be the
home OF millions of cGlonists-and q canal
